Recognizing Autocracy

Now that you mention it, there is something that most Americans find offensive about the American flag, and that is that it’s been highjacked by Trump supporters.

Ten years ago, if someone chose to fly the flag, it symbolized nothing but pure patriotism.  Now it means the support of white nationalism, the rejection of science, and most of all, standing behind a pathological liar and criminal sociopath who is doing everything he can to overthrow the U.S. government so as to stay in power.

It’s not time to leave the country.  It’s time to recognize this attempt at autocracy for what it is and make sure it loses in a landslide in November.
